  • Built-in schemas — vocabulary, action items, key concepts, and more
  • Community schemas — browse what others have built and shared
  • Custom schemas — design your own extraction template

Bring in your material

  • Upload documents — PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, Markdown, HTML
  • Pull from a website — paste a URL to preview and extract text
  • Transcribe media — audio and video files are converted to text

File uploads are free. URL text extraction costs 1 credit, but cached pages are free on repeat visits. Audio/video transcription costs 15 credits per minute (rounded up), and cached transcriptions are also free.

Narrow the scope

Schemas can include optional parameters that shape results. For example, the Vocabulary schema lets you dial in exactly how you want to learn:

  • Set the topic — tell the AI what subject area to focus on
  • Filter by type — narrow results to nouns, verbs, phrases, and more
  • Choose complexity — match the difficulty to your level of understanding
